[Chorus]
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
[Verse 1]
Well I gave you everything I had
But you left me sitting on my own
Did you have to treat me, oh, so bad
All I do is hang my head and moan
[Chorus]
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
[Verse 2]
If there's something I have said or done
Tell me what and I'll apologize
If you don't, I really can't go on
Holding back these tears in my eyes
[Chorus]
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
[Verse 3]
Well I beg you on my bended knees
If you'll only listen to my pleas
Is there anything I can do
'Cause I really can't stand it, I'm so in love with you
[Chorus]
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
[Verse 1]
Well I gave you everything I had
But you left me sitting on my own
Did you have to treat me, oh, so bad
All I do is hang my head and moan
[Chorus]
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
[Verse 2]
If there's something I have said or done
Tell me what and I'll apologize
If you don't, I really can't go on
Holding back these tears in my eyes
[Chorus]
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
[Verse 3]
Well I beg you on my bended knees
If you'll only listen to my pleas
Is there anything I can do
'Cause I really can't stand it, I'm so in love with you
[Chorus]
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
